GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and instructions
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
English
2
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.
Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before connecting to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or energising
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in
accordance with these instructions taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
English
3
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws, or other small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery, avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
6) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Safety Instructions for All Saws
a)
DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the
blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or
motor housing.
If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot
be cut by the blade.
b)
Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard
cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
c)
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece.
Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below
the workpiece.
d)
Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across
your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform.
It is important to support the work properly to minimize body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e)
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live"
wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and shock the operator.
f)
When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge
guide.
This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the
chance of blade binding.
g)
Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond
versus round) of arbor holes.
Blades that do not match the
mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss
of control.
h)
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt.
The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your
saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.
CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF KICKBACK
– Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or
misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up
and out of the workpiece toward the operator.
When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf
closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives
the unit rapidly back toward the operator.
If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the
teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top
surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf
and jump back toward operator.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below:
English
4
a) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and
position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the
operator, if proper precautions are taken.
b) When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any
reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless
in the material until the blade comes to a complete
stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work
or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or
kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions
to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the
saw blade in the kerf and check that the saw teeth are
not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it
may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is
restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade
pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under
their own weight. Support must be placed under the panel
on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the
panel.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blade. Unsharpened or
improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive
friction, blade binding, and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be
tight and secure before making cut. If blade adjustment
shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and Kickback.
g) Use extra caution when making a “Plunge Cut” into
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade
may cut objects that can cause kickback.
Safety Instructions for
Plunge-Type Saws
a) Check guard for proper closing before each use. Do
not operate the saw if guard does not move freely and
enclose the blade instantly. Never clamp or tie the guard
with the blade exposed. If saw is accidentally dropped,
guard may be bent. Check to make sure that guard moves
freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all
angles and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation and condition of the guard return
spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating
properly, they must be serviced before use. Guard may
operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits,
or a build-up of debris.
c) Assure that the guide plate of the saw will not shift while
performing the “plunge cut” when the blade bevel setting
is not at 90°. Blade shifting sideways will cause binding and
likely kickback.
d) Always observe that the guard is covering the blade before
placing saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected,
coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting
whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the
blade to stop after switch is released.
Additional Safety Instructions for All
Saws with Riving Knife
a) Use the appropriate riving knife for the blade being used.
For the riving knife to work, it must be thicker than the body
of the blade but thinner than the tooth set of the blade.
b) Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction
manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment can
make the riving knife ineffective in preventing kickback.
English
5
c) Always use the riving knife except when plunge cutting.
Riving knife must be replaced after plunge cutting. Riving
knife causes interference during plunge cutting and can
create kickback. Model DC351 does not require removal
of the riving knife because the riving knife retracts during a
plunge cut.
d) For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in the
workpiece. The riving knife is ineffective in preventing
kickback during short cuts.
e) Do not operate the saw if riving knife is bent. Even a light
interference can slow the closing rate of a guard.
Additional Safety Instructions for Saws
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing
loss.
Wear a dust mask. Exposure to dust particles can cause
breathing difficulty and possible injury.
Use only recommended blades. The saw is designed for use
with 6-1/2" (165 mm) diameter blades that have a 0.79" (20 mm)
diameter bore. Blades must be rated for 6000 RPM operation (or
higher).
Never use abrasive cut-off wheels.
Keep your body positioned to either side of the blade, but
not in line with the saw blade. Kickback could cause the saw
to jump backwards (see Causes and Operator Prevention of
Kickback and Kickback).
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off. Serious personal injury
may result.
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from
lumber before cutting.
EXTENSION CORDS
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or
American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number
of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge
has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
When using more than one extension to make up the total
length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to
use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.

Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended
on the tool warning label. Accessories running over rated speed
can fly apart and cause injury. Accessory ratings must always be
above tool speed as shown on tool nameplate.
WARNING: ALWAYS wear proper personal hearing protection
that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may
contribute to hearing loss.
English

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses
are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY
EQUIPMENT:
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
lead from lead-based paints,
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
(CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often
you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemi-
cals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on
the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse
dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or
other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory

which turns power off when you turn out the lights.
c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where the
surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F - 75°F
(18°- 24°C).
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and
charger to your local service center.
4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously.
DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow
the charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used
pack whenever you desire with no adverse affect on the battery
pack.
5. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited
to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles
should be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the
charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in
the cavity. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
6. Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside

Workpiece Support
WARNING: Hands should be kept away from cutting area to
reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING: The power cord should be positioned clear of the
cutting area so that it will not get caught or hung up on the work
and to prevent electric shock.
Figure 6 shows proper sawing position. Figure 7 shows an unsafe
condition. To avoid kickback, DO support board or panel NEAR the
cut. DON’T support board or panel away from the cut.

to hold the saw firmly to
prevent loss of control
which could cause
personal injury. Figure 8
illustrates typical hand

Place the work with its
“good” side – the one
on which appearance is most important – down. The saw cuts
upward, so any splintering will be on the work face that is up when
you saw it.
Cutting
DANGER: Risk of electrical shock. Keep the cord away from the
cutting area to prevent electrocution.
WARNING: If the guard binds or is sluggish, return the saw to
your nearest authorized D
EWALT service center for repair.
WARNING: For maximum protection, effective control of this
powerful saw requires two-handed operation. support the work
properly and hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of control which
could cause injury. Refer to Figure 8 for the proper way to hold the
saw.
WARNING: Stay alert and maintain a firm grip on the saw.
Release the switch immediately if the blade binds or the saw stalls.
Keep your blade sharp. Properly support panels (Fig. 6, 7). Use the
track when ripping. DO NOT force the tool. DO NOT remove the
saw from the workpiece while the blade is moving.
WARNING: To help reduce the risk of personal injury, always
clamp work. Don’t try to hold short pieces by hand! Remember to
support cantilevered and over hanging material. Use caution when
sawing material from below.
WARNING: Be sure that the saw is up to full speed before blade
contacts material to be cut. Starting the saw with blade against
material to be cut or pushed forward into kerf can result in kickback
and personal injury.
WARNING: ALWAYS secure the workpiece in such a manner
that it cannot move while sawing. For optimum results, clamp the
workpiece bottom up.
WARNING: ALWAYS push the machine forwards. NEVER pull
the machine backwards towards you.
WARNING: ALWAYS use the clamp (Fig. 9, BB) to hold the track
to the workpiece.
English
15
CAUTION: Do not operate your tool on a current on which the
voltage is not within correct limits. Do not operate tools rated AC
only on DC current. To do so may seriously damage the tool.
1. Place the machine with the front part of the saw base on the
workpiece.
2. Press the on/off switch to turn the saw on.
3. Push the plunge trigger (A) forward, press the saw down to set
cutting depth and push it forward into cutting direction.
Push the saw forward at a speed which allows the blade to cut
without laboring. Hardness and toughness can vary even in the
same piece of material, and knotty or damp sections can put a
heavy load on the saw. When this happens, push the saw more
slowly, but hard enough to keep it working without much decrease
in speed. Forcing the saw can cause rough cuts, inaccuracy,
kickback and over-heating of the motor.
Should the cut begin to go off the line, DO NOT try to force it back.
Release the switch and allow blade to come to a complete stop,
then withdraw the saw, realign, and start a new cut slightly inside
the wrong one.
In any event, withdraw the saw if you must shift the cut. Forcing a
correction inside the cut can stall the saw and lead to kickback. IF
SAW STALLS, RELEASE THE TRIGGER, ALLOW THE BLADE
TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND BACK THE SAW UNTIL
IT IS LOOSE. BE SURE BLADE IS STRAIGHT IN THE CUT AND
CLEAR OF THE CUTTING EDGE BEFORE RESTARTING.
As you finish a cut, release the trigger and allow the blade to stop
before lifting the saw from the work. As you lift the saw, the spring-
tensioned guard will automatically close
around the blade. Remember the blade is exposed until this occurs,
never reach under the work for any reason whatsoever.
Always use a track, fence or straight edge guide when ripping.
NOTE: When cutting thin strips, be careful to ensure that the narrow
strips do not feed up into the inside of the blade enclosure.
NOTE: The tracks, available in different lengths, allow for precise,
clean cuts and simultaneously protect the workpiece surface against
damage.
PLUNGE CUTS (FIG. 1, 9)
WARNING: ALWAYS use the track when plunge cutting.
WARNING: To avoid kickbacks, the following instructions MUST
be observed when plunge cutting:
1. Place the machine

release the anti-
kickback knob (U)
by turning it
counterclockwise.
2. Turn the machine

6-1/2" (165 mm)] at maximum cutting depth and using the track.
3. If kickback happened during the plunge cut, turn the anti-
kickback knob (U) counterclockwise to release it from the track.
English

4. When you have finished the plunge cut, turn the anti-kickback
knob (U) clockwise into the lock position.
CROSS-CUTTING
Cutting directly across the grain of a piece of lumber is called
crosscutting. Figures 10 and 11 illustrate a crosscut operation.
Position the work so that the cut will be on the left.
FIG. 10 FIG. 11
RIPPING
Ripping is cutting wood lengthwise. This operation is performed in
the same manner as crosscutting with the exception of supporting
the workpiece. If the workpiece is supported on a large table, bench,
or floor, several pieces of scrap stock approximately 1" (25.4 mm)
thick should be placed beneath the material to allow clearance
for the portion of the saw blade that extends thru the workpiece.
Large sheets of paneling or thin plywood supported on saw horses
should have 2 x 4’s placed lengthwise between the horses and the
workpiece to prevent it from sagging in the center.
BEVEL CUTTING
Make your bevel cuts in the same manner as crosscuts and rip cuts,
but set the blade at an angle between 0° and 47°.
The bevel cut made at an angle to the edge of a board is called a
compound cut.
KICKBACK
When the saw blade becomes pinched or twisted in the cut, kickback
can occur. The saw is thrust rapidly back toward the operator. When
the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the
blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit backward. When
the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the
back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing
the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is more likely to occur when any of the following conditions
exist.
1. IMPROPER WORKPIECE SUPPORT
A. Sagging or improper lifting of the cut off piece can cause
pinching of the blade and lead to kickback.
B. Cutting through material supported at the outer ends only
can cause kickback. As the material weakens it sags, closing
down the kerf and pinching the blade.
C. Cutting off a cantilevered or overhanging piece of material
from the bottom up in a vertical direction can cause kickback.
The falling cut off piece can pinch the blade.
D. Cutting off long narrow strips (as in ripping) can cause
kickback. The cut off strip can sag or twist closing the kerf and
pinching the blade.
E. Snagging the lower guard on a surface below the material
being cut momentarily reduces operator control. The saw
can lift partially out of the cut increasing the chance of blade
twist.
2. IMPROPER DEPTH OF CUT SETTING ON SAW
To make the most efficient cut, the blade should protrude only
far enough to expose 1/2 of a tooth. This allows the shoe to
English
17
support the blade and minimizes twisting and pinching in the
material. See the section titled Cutting Depth Adjustment.
3. BLADE TWISTING (MISALIGNMENT IN CUT)
A. Pushing harder to cut through a knot, a nail, or a hard grain
area can cause the blade to twist.
B. Trying to turn the saw in the cut (trying to get back on the
marked line) can cause blade twist.
C. Over-reaching or operating the saw with poor body control
(out of balance), can result in twisting the blade.
D. Changing hand grip or body position while cutting can result
in blade twist.
E. Backing up the saw to clear blade can lead to twist.
4 MATERIALS THAT REQUIRE EXTRA ATTENTION
A. Wet lumber
B. Green lumber (material freshly cut or not kiln dried)
C. Pressure treated lumber (material treated with preservatives
or anti-rot chemicals)
5. USE OF DULL OR DIRTY BLADES
Dull blades cause increased loading of the saw. To compensate,
an operator will usually push harder which further loads the
unit and promotes twisting of the blade in the kerf. Worn blades
may also have insufficient body clearance which increases the
chance of binding and increased loading.
6. LIFTING THE SAW WHEN MAKING BEVEL CUT
Bevel cuts require special operator attention to proper cutting
techniques - especially guidance of the saw. Both blade angle
to the shoe and greater blade surface in the material increase
the chance for binding and misalignment (twist) to occur.
7. RESTARTING A CUT WITH THE BLADE TEETH JAMMED
AGAINST THE MATERIAL
The saw should be brought up to full operating speed before
starting a cut or restarting a cut after the unit has been stopped
with the blade in the kerf. Failure to do so can cause stalling and
kickback.
Any other conditions which could result in pinching, binding, twisting,
or misalignment of the blade could cause kickback. Refer to the
sections on Adjustments and Set-Up and Operation for procedures
and techniques that will minimize the occurrence of kickback.
Blades
WARNING: To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear
ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection. Carbide is a hard but brittle
material. Foreign objects in the work piece such as wire or nails
can cause tips to crack or break. Only operate saw when proper
saw blade guard is in place. Mount blade securely in proper
rotation before using, and always use a clean, sharp blade.
WARNING: NEVER cut ferrous metals (those with any iron or
steel content), masonry, glass or tile with this saw. Damage to the
saw and personal injury may result.
A dull blade will cause inefficient cutting, overload on the saw
motor, excessive splintering and increase the possibility of kickback.
Change blades when it is no longer easy to push the saw through
the cut, when the motor is straining, or when excessive heat is built
up in the blade. It is a good practice to keep extra blades on hand
so that sharp blades are available for immediate use. Dull blades
can be sharpened in most areas; see SAWS-SHARPENING in the
yellow pages. Hardened gum on the blade can be removed with
kerosene, turpentine, or oven cleaner. Anti-stick coated blades can
be used in applications where excessive build-up is encountered,
such as pressure treated and green lumber.

BLADE SELECTION
Your DEWALT track saw is designed for use with 6-1/2" (165 mm)
diameter blades that have a 0.79" (20 mm) diameter bore. Blades
must be rated for 6000 RPM operation (or higher).
DO NOT use any
abrasive wheels.
A combination blade is furnished with your saw and is an excellent
blade for all general ripping and crosscutting operations. Use a fine-
tooth blade for cutting plywood.
WARNING: VISUALLY EXAMINE CARBIDE BLADES BEFORE
USE. REPLACE IF DAMAGED.
Track Saw System (Fig. 1)
The tracks, which are available in different lengths, allow for precise,
clean cuts and simultaneously protect the workpiece surface against
damage.
In conjunction with additional accessories, exact angled cuts, miter
cuts and fitting work can be completed with the track saw system.
Securing the workpiece with clamps ensures a secure hold and
safe working.
The guide clearance of the track saw must be very small for best
cutting results and can be set with the two track adjusters (J).
1. Release the screw inside the track adjuster to adjust the
clearance.
2. Adjust the knob until saw locks on track.
3. Rotate knob back until saw slides easily.
4. Hold the track adjuster in position and lock the screw again.
NOTE: ALWAYS readjust the system for use with other tracks.
Anti-splinter Strip
The track is equipped with a anti-splinter strip, which has to be cut
to size before the first use:
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS read and follow the track saw system
instruction before cutting the anti-splinter strip!
1. Set the speed of the track saw to level 5.
2. Place the track on a scrap piece of wood.
3. Set the track saw on 3/16" (5 mm) cut depth.
4. Place the saw on the rear end of the track.
5. Turn the saw on, press it down to the set cutting depth and
cut the anti-splinter strip along the full length in one contiuous
operation. The edge of the anti-splinter strip now corresponds
exactly to the cutting edge of the blade.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, ALWAYS secure the
track (W) with a clamp.
Wall Cutting (Fig. 1, 12)
1. Place the track saw with the outer guard (V) on a clean, flat
floor.
2. Press the shoe (D) with the front side on the wall against the
adjusted depth stop.
NOTE: The minimum cut between wall and workpiece is
12 mm.
